            Admission to Curt Gowdy and all the festivities are free and the public is welcome.

“This is an event gets better every year and has been the catalyst to introducing many youth and families to recreational activities they can do in this great State,” Administrator, Domenic Bravo of the Division of State Parks, Historic Sites and Trails said. “Bring your bike, fishing poles, and hiking shoes and a plan on having a great time with friends and family.”

            Additionally, “Wyoming Free Fishing Day” will be an all-day activity.  Please join us to celebrate “National Trails Day” and “Great Outdoors Month” with a day full of fun!
